Pear BLIGHT.

A great many theories have been ad-
vanced to account for this disease, and it
has been attributed to multitude of
causes, among which may be mentioned
freezing of the unripc wood, an ovcrplus
of sap, sun blight or sun scald, insect
depredatlons, the exhaustion of constitu-
ents in the soil needful for the tree,
poisonous sap, the too rapid growth of
young trees, etc., and the remedies sug-
gestcd have been to plant varieties of
slow growth, like the Scckcl, on north
ern exposures, shortening the branches
Of the present years growth at the end
of the season, washing with a solution of
coppcras, etc, but with the universal ad-
mission that there was no very general
agreement as to the causes, and no GER
tain preventive known. Recent investi-
cations at the New York Agricultural 4 En-
pertinent Station, at Geneva, strengthen
the belief heretofore entertained by
many that the disease is caused by spe-
citic bacteria, an animal organism
of the lowest grade, and it was
found that the disease may be introduced
into healthy tissues by incubation with
germs from diseased tissues, and that it
Is not communicated by the juices of the
disease after the germs are removed by
filtration, and as the result of long Sc
ries of experiments it is stated, as proven
by both direct and indirect circumstan-
tal evidence, that specific kind of bac-
terra is the real and only cause of pear
blight, and that a rapid and succulent
growth of the tree brought about by
high cultivation or otherwise is condi-
tion which favors the disease. The bac-
terra may keep alive in branches cut from
the tree and remaining in water, or when
fallen on moist ground, until the follow
Ing season, when the germs, being car
ried about by the wind or otherwise in
the spring, come in contact with healthy
new, delicate tissues or blossoms, and,
having made permanent lodgmcnt, the
disease soon afterwards appears in sud-
den blackening of the leaves, thus
demonstrating the necessity of promptly
destroying all blighted hmbs.-Ncc

ths statement that his reelgnation had been
prepared aud iLs acceptance would Be
insisted npon, unless such changes
were made IN the constitution es
would bring about the removal % Asssrs-
Barry and Baiiy from the executive board.
AZ times the morning session WAS OF rne
most riOtons character. Charges OF per-
soBal characterization were leveied at L. u.
Barry and il is reported that az one point
ia the session the Michigan ex-legisl etor
rushed up the aisle shaking his nst Ia front

nouncinz what he insisted was a. attempt
AZ moo law, and VOcifsr0usly declared tina,
II 10 vss 20 De dogned il should De tone
decently and fairly.
Mr PoRderly was seen early this morn
ing and emphatieally denied having writ
ten bis resignation. Regarding the lack OF
harmony among the General Executive
Board. which had been gwen out as q
cause for the alleged resignation, Powderly
refused TO express himself. That there Is
trouble brewing Is very evident, - Pow
derly might easily have discredlted tae
rumor By declaring that there was not lsck
OF harmony on the Board. Bailey aud
Barry, of whom II is alleged have created
the discord, are actively engaged IN can
vassiug the cause, and wcdid probably, IN
case the matter come 10 vote IL the as

became very earnest snd vehement.

other delegates spoke and at times the up

in best informed circles is that Pow5eriy as
